Select data field

The select data field is probably the most interesting since it allows to select entities of different kinds.

This field is based on the getEntityRecords function and by default, it only requests the following informations:

[
	'slug'   => 'select_pages',
	'type'   => 'selectData',
	'args'   => [
		'is_multiple'  => true,
		'is_clearable' => true,
		'data'         => [
			'kind'  => 'postType',
			'name'  => 'page',
			'value' => 'title.rendered',
		],
	],
	'labels' => [
		'label' => 'select_pages_label',
		'help'  => '',
	],
],

is_multiple parameter defines whether it is possible to select 1 or more elements.
is_clearable parameter defines whether it is possible to clear the selection.
  
And the most important part:
  
data defines 3 arguments:

• kind which defines the type of entity
• name which defines the name of the entity
• value which defines the value that we want to display in the select component
    

Since the component is based on getEntityRecords which itself is based on the REST API, the values to fill in data can be found in the REST API documentation.

See this page to facilitate this work   

Another very interesting argument can be added to data: query
Example:

[
	'slug'   => 'main_category',
	'type'   => 'selectData',
	'args'   => [
		'is_multiple'  => false,
		'is_clearable' => true,
		'data'         => [
			'kind'  => 'taxonomy',
			'name'  => 'category',
			'value' => 'name',
			'query' => [
				'exclude' => 50,
				'orderby' => 'date',
			],
		],
	],
	'labels' => [
		'label' => 'main_category_label',
		'help'  => '',
	],
],
